Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has extended his contract with the club until 2030, committing his future to the Gunners beyond a decade at the Emirates Stadium.

The new deal comes after Arteta guided Arsenal to their first Premier League title under his leadership, following three successive second-place finishes.

The Spaniard also led the club to the Champions League and Carabao Cup finals last season, making it the most successful campaign of his tenure.

Arteta, who joined Arsenal as manager in 2019, described the contract extension as a privilege and expressed his gratitude to the club’s owners, players and supporters.

“It’s a privilege to commit my future to the club and to continue to work with exceptional people who want the best for Arsenal,” Arteta said.

“This club is unique, its character and the way it makes you feel, and I have a great sense of privilege that our journey together will continue.

“We have already built a special bond and created memories that will last a lifetime, and what is so exciting is that this is only the beginning of what we can achieve together.”

Arsenal co-chairmen Stan and Josh Kroenke said they were proud of the progress made under Arteta and looked forward to achieving more with the manager.

“We share a special bond with Mikel. We are so proud of everything we have achieved since he returned to the club in 2019,” they said.
